It’s official: Pornography is a public health crisis. At least in Utah.

The state proclaimed as much Tuesday after Gov. Gary Herbert (R) signed off on a resolution that deems pornography “a public health hazard” that can result in wide-ranging harm to individuals and society at large.

“We hope that people hear and heed this voice of warning,” Herbert said at a signing ceremony. “For our citizens know that there are real health risks that are involved and associated with viewing pornography.”

If you're a news junkie, you know that porn has been making headlines — and not just in the religious world — the last few weeks.

The story did include this quote from Todd Weiler, the resolution’s chief Senate sponsor:

“If a library or a McDonald’s or anyone else was giving out cigarettes to our children, we would be picketing them,” Weiler said. “And, yet, our children are accessing pornography on their tablets on these sites and we seem to be okay with that."

Welp, McDonald's is mentioned, so it must not be the missing word.

Morals — as in "old-fashioned morals bill" — is included, too. So it can't be the elusive puzzle piece.

I decided to cheat and check out some other national news reports to see if they might help me figure it out.
